Military Insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE) - Weehawken, NJ.

There are several ways to get part or all of your drug treatment covered. For those who want to use military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE) you will need to contact your provider directly to see exactly what you are eligible for. While both parts of TriCare (TriCare Standard and TriCare Extra) cover drug rehabilitation, only some VA benefits cover the expense of substance abuse treatment. Once you have spoken with your military insurance representative (e.g., VA, TRICARE) and have a full understanding of what exactly they will pay for regarding substance abuse treatment you can begin researching drug rehab centers. Be sure to speak to the billing department of the drug rehab to ensure that they accept your military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE). You will want to have a full understanding of what your part (if any) of the cost of treatment will be before you enroll into the facility.
